I recently finished this hunter. It has a nice twisted pattern blade 4 1/8 inch long with amber Stag scales. The gaurd is Stainless. This is two views of the same knife. Lin

Lin, I think this is my favorite design of yours, it's similar to one you posted earlier that I believe you mentioned you won a show with. Awesome knife!

Dan,
     I have only used spinners that I made. I hammered these pins with a small ball pien. Stag is pretty tough stuff, so I go ahead and plan on a pretty good head to hold a little inward pressure. The pin size is 1/8, so the head is slightly larger, but not by much. The dips and grooves in the stag always make it an adventure, but I like the look and I believe it to be very durable. Thanks, Lin

Yes James. The scales are two bark Stag slabs together, back to back. They have to be dead flat to make the good joint. Lin
